What does the "purple" states represents?

Watching CNN and the political analysts made reference to NC as a purple state 🤔

I'm such an idiot to be asking this question I know. Please don't embarrass me 😓

Effectively, it’s a state that isn’t consistently Democrat or Republican. So, it could be either blue or red: hence purple.
